He ate his words, Guardiola’s shocking message on Kalvin Phillips’ overweight

Manchester City’s Catalan coach Pep Guardiola surprised the media and the fans in the last few hours during his press conference with the club ahead of the postponed Premier League game against Brentford in the Etihad Stadium, which they will need to win to remain on the race for the title.

Manchester City to make this acquisition to continue their global domination

The manager, who is currently focused on getting the victory against the Bees, had time to remember one of his most recent polemic speeches in the press conferences with the Citizen, as he referred to the current West Ham player Kevin Kalvin-Phillips, and the message he gave on the midfielder’s overweight.

In this sense, it would be worth remembering that the Englishman was sent to West Ham on a six-month loan transfer during the January transfer window following his lack of minutes under Guardiola’s management, and the Catalan coach’s lack of confidence in the player’s fitness.

In this respect, the Englishman would have been dropped by Pep Guardiola from City’s team due to being ‘overweight’, comments that the Catalan coach now corrected with a shocking apology to the midfielder.

What did Guardiola say?

“Yeah, I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m sorry,” said Guardiola ahead of the Blues’ clash with Brentford, and added “Yeah, before I came here to say it, I spoke to him. I never, never before I say something here, I don’t speak with the teams, with the players in that case.”
